Hi Mamorok,
tried your option, but option (alt) F2 doesn't do anything on my Macbook Pro. I also opened discover, that is the only spot I found so far on Neon where I can type something in. So I typed Google Earth into discover, software appeared, but the combination of option F2 didn't do anything. Did I miss another magic trick? Thanks, Atmo p.s.: still haven't tackled the complex command line issues to get Earth removed and KDE updated .....  , I,ll get it one day....., I just can't do more the two hours of frustration in one go..

If Alt-F2 doesn't open a mini-CLI at the top of your screen, then something is wrong in your installation indeed. This does NOT depend on the hardware you use, it is part of Plasma.
It might be you killed it by mistake, so you can just restart it with this command

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ... |

And btw, if you did an update as I suggested you should just have an up-to-date version of KDEs Plasma. Or did I miss something? What does

Reading through what you posted, you apparently did not just copy and paste my command, but mistyped it, so here is the upgrade command again, please just copy and paste it into your command line:

Thank you Mamarok,
between Muesli and going to work (I am a builder) I copied and pasted your suggested command.. Here the result. Think it worked... I am pasting that because it probably gives you an impression how everything works on my particular distribution. Could it be that there are graphic chip issues? Cheers, Atmo

Maybe, it would be helpful to
check Your probably AMD64-OS for installed i386-packages: There shouldn't be many. How to: Example
Maybe, that's the reason for existing problems. You seem to install i386-Kernel drivers for an AMD64-Kernel. I may be wrong. |

Wow,
looks like you are right. Guess that would mean a new install.. Could give KDE a bigger space then as well... Thanks a lot, Atmo x@x:~$ $ apt search '.*' |& grep i386 | grep installed x@x:~$ libc6-i386/bionic,now 2.27-3ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic] bash: libc6-i386/bionic,now: No such file or directory x@x:~$ teamviewer/now 12.0.71510 i386 [installed,local] bash: teamviewer/now: No such file or directory x@x:~$ x@x:~$ $ apt search '.*' |& grep i386 | grep installed x@x:~$ libc6-i386/bionic,now 2.27-3ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic] bash: libc6-i386/bionic,now: No such file or directory x@x:~$ teamviewer/now 12.0.71510 i386 [installed,local] bash: teamviewer/now: No such file or directory x@x:~$ |

When you are shown this:
When you typed the "apt search ..." command, it produced no output because you have no i386 packages installed (I also have no output on my system). He said you shouldn't have many, and in fact, you have none. Here is a simpler example, if you type this command:

Mamarok,
plasmashell states plasmashell 5.14.0 Hope that is the latest one.... Still working Konsole to find this google stuff to delete, but it is only going more komplex and very complicated... But I will not give up yet... Atmo |

Again,
when I try to update it also states make sure that appstream is installed properly on the system. I can find that in Applications, but it does not show it is doing anything.. Cheers, Atmo |

It is getting more weired with every try....
It doesn't make up it's mind wether Google is installed or not... Such a nice and easy OS KDE is, but very demanding to get the bugs out.... x@x:~$ sudo dpkg -P google earth [sudo] password for x: dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove google which isn't installed dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove earth which isn't installed x@x:~$ apt search '.*' |& grep i386 | grep installed google-earth-stable/now 6.2.1.6014-r0 i386 [installed,local] x@x:~$ google-earth-stable/now 6.2.1.6014-r0 i386 [installed,local] bash: google-earth-stable/now: No such file or directory x@x:~$ Atmo |

It's getting more weird because you are still entering output as commands. The output is not a command, which the computer sees as gibberish that it doesn't understand, so it responds with the error "bash: google-earth-stable/now: No such file or directory" telling you that it doesn't understand the command you typed. Type in gibberish like askera-aserc/aekrlmmsn,m, and it will give the same response:
bash: askera-aserc/aekrlmmsn,m: No such file or directory So lets try this again. The purpose of the "apt search" command is to find the name of packages, in this case, any that contain "i386". Since you are trying to removed google-earth, you could used this command:
google-earth-stable/now 6.2.1.6014-r0 i386 [installed,local] Again, this is not a command that you should type in, the computer won't understand it. There's a bunch of information here, the package name, the repository name, version number, architecture, and status. The only information you need here is the package name, which is the first part before the slash (shown in blue above). This is the information you need to be able to purge (remove) that package from your system, so now the command you want is:
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove google which isn't installed dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove earth which isn't installed Telling you that these packages don't exist.

This is for everybody but sskyatmo:
Guys, you are all very helpful, but I suggest you do NOT put outputs between code line tags, it would be less confusing to the user. Those can be put between empty lines or starting lines with this -> sign: -> Output This way a user will type only what is actual a command, or just copy & paste the suggested command

Final Suggestion:
Install the "apper"-Application. It's a GUI-program. You wouldn't need the command line. 1. remove google earth 2. disable google earth origin-repository under "Settings". This may solve Your problem (if it isn't already solved by You). |

Mamarok and team,
thank you all for your fantastic support.and patience. I was so close all the time just to delete the system and start from new before I have to much relevant data on it. First success, it seems to have removed Google Earth, but still won't update via discover. Still states "make sure you have installed upstrem properly" I found appstream in Discover, but no options to do anything with it. Atmo |
